    Gillian Shields

    Gillian Shields is the author of Immortal, Betrayal, and Eternal, the first books about the sisterhood of the Mystic Way, as well as many other books for young readers. She spent her childhood roaming over the Yorkshire moors and dreaming of the Brontë sisters. After studying in Cambridge, London, and Paris, she became a teacher. She has taught in a girls' boarding school and also in a drama school where it was rumored that the ghost of a young girl could be heard crying in the night. Gillian was inspired to write this series in celebration of the power of first love, the strength of female friendship, and the haunting mystery of the past.

      For Lois

      This book is for my big sisters

      Kathleen and Angela, who are

      the inspiration for so many

      characters yet to be drawn!

      Map of Oceania

      Prologue

      Meet Misty, Ellie, Sophie, Holly,

      Lucy, and Scarlett. They are Mermaid

      Sisters of the Sea, who live in the

      magical underwater world of Coral

      Kingdom. The Merfolk and their

      wise ruler, Queen Neptuna, look

      after the sea and all its creatures.

      Coral Kingdom is protected by six

      powerful magic crystals, which give

      life and strength to the Merfolk.

      Without the crystals, Coral

      Kingdom would not survive.

      Every year, the old crystals fade

      and have to be replaced. Queen

      Neptuna sends Misty and her

      friends—six special mermaids who

      are pure of heart—to collect the new

      ones from the secret Crystal Cave.

      But as they are bringing the crystals

      home, a storm blows the mermaids

      completely off course.

      This is no ordinary storm! It is

      created by Mantora, Queen

      Neptuna’s jealous sister. Mantora

      wanted to rule Coral Kingdom,

      and now she is bitter and full of

      hatred. She is determined to stop

      the mermaids from returning

      home, so that she can overthrow

      Queen Neptuna and set up her

      evil Storm Kingdom instead.

      Luckily, the young mermaids

      have courage and friendship on

      their side. But that’s not all; their

      S.O.S. Kits will help them as they

      race to get the crystals back

      safely. And they never forget

      their Mermaid Pledge:

      We promise that we’ll take good care

      Of all sea creatures everywhere.

      We’ll never hurt and never break,

      We’ll always give and never take.

      And as we fight Mantora’s threat,

      This saying we must not forget:

      "I’ll help you and you’ll help me,

      For we are Sisters of the Sea!"

      Scarlett and her friends are

      eager to prove that Queen Neptuna

      was right to
